Kingsville was once known as the Wild Horse Desert. It was founded in 1904. The land was once part of the Rincon de Santa Gertrudis Spanish Land Grant which Captain Richard King purchased in 1853. He later founded the King Ranch which began as a cow camp on the Santa Gertrudis Creek. Mrs. Henrietta King donated land in the area for the townsite, many churches and the South Texas State Teachers College which later became Texas A&M University at Kingsville.

Kingsville grew up around the famous King Ranch. King Ranch is bigger than the state of Rhode Island! With 825,000 acres, the ranch is one of the largest in the world. Guided tours of the ranch are available. There is also a museum or two to check out. Soak up the friendly Texas atmosphere in the quaint shops of downtown Kingsville.
